tried to find takers

Tried to rally the troops for a possible GO call for the city observing session this week. I wasn't too busy. Was available most of the nights. It would be fun to get out.

I asked Mark if he might be interested. Never heard from him the last time I tried but he responded quickly this month and thanked me for the heads-up.

Invited my buddy Ken. I still want to give him a gander through my telescope. He replied. Was interested.

Asked Manuel. Asked if he wanted to join me at High Park for the event. He replied, "Would like to go to High Park or come to my place?" Huh? High Park, man. We talked on the phone. Then he sent another note. "What about plugging the scope? I can go there, but have to depend on someone else to observe. Where exactly in High Park is?" Uh boy. Sent him the link.

I explained that I really liked observing from the park with members.

The skies were sketchy. Stuart made the call early. No go.

Phil reminded us of Europa's shadow transit near the Great Red Spot. If anyone had a break in the clouds...
